On The Young and the Restless, the decades-long feud between Jack (Peter Bergman) and Victor (Eric Braeden) is perhaps the greatest in soap history. Their scorched-earth approach to battle often shakes up all of Genoa City and leaves members of the Abbott and Newman families as collateral damage. It’s because we’ve seen this movie before between the two most powerful men in town that we’re fairly certain this latest round of conflict isn’t going to end well.
Beyond just the history of the duo, our hunch about the disaster that’s coming stems from knowledge of Jack’s past year. Loyal viewers know that he hasn’t had the easiest go of it when it comes to his family. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) suffered for months due to a mental health struggle, Harrison (Redding Munsell) was kidnapped by the deranged villain Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and now Kyle (Michael Mealor) is treating Jack and Diane (Susan Walters) as if they’re monsters.
